SUMMARY:Book launch - Eastbourne: A Postcard Village\, by Nik Zangouropoulos and Alison Carew
DESCRIPTION:Book launch: Eastbourne: A Postcard Village\, by Nik Zangouropoulos and Alison Carew: Sunday 16 November at 2pm\, in the East Harbour Women’s Club rooms\, 145 Muritai Road\nTo recap: Nik is an avid and very knowledgeable postcard collector who specialises in cards of the Wellington region. He estimates he owns about 90% of the 370 known postcards of the eastern bays. Several years ago he gave a talk to our members on the subject\, and mentioned that he’d like to do a book about Eastbourne postcards\, so I offered to help with the local history content.\nAnd that’s how our collaboration started. We began working on the book over a year ago\, hoping to publish it in time for Christmas 2024. But we soon realised the project was much bigger than we’d expected\, and decided to put it on hold until this year.\nAnd we’re very glad we did\, because in the meantime Nik discovered a number of postcards of the eastern bays that he didn’t even know existed. Being able to include these gems in the book has boosted the number of featured cards to 66\, and the size of the book to 125 pages.\nObviously the postcards are the stars of the show\, but the book also has chapters by Nik on the history of postcards and by me on the history of the eastern bays. These overviews provide context for the cards\, and so do the introductions to each subject section. \nSo it’s been quite a journey\, culminating in the event next Sunday afternoon when the book will be officially launched by our Harbour Ward Councillor Tui Lewis.\nThe books are $30 each\, and if you’re thinking of buying copies at the launch we suggest you bring cash\, as we won’t have an eftpos facility. \nThe launch will be our final event for the year – and what a busy year it’s been! So we look forward to seeing you there.

SUMMARY:Professional deer cullers in East Harbour Regional Park (11 Aug - 19 Sept)
DESCRIPTION:Greater Wellington Regional Council have contracted professional deer cullers who will be hunting in East Harbour Regional Park Northern Forest between 11th August & 19th September. Hunters will be only hunting when weather conditions are conducive to hunting. There will be 13 days of actual hunting in the period. No hunting will be undertaken on weekends\, public holidays or school holidays. Hunting will on occasion be occurring at night. The EHRP website will be updated daily as the hunter communicate their plans to me. Please feel free to text me at 021771730 if you are unsure.\n\nPlease report deer sightings – include date of sighting\, species\, number\, specific location\, activity and photos are always useful – contact me at 021771730\, (text is good) or zane.gillgren@gw.govt.nz\n\nThere is also an opportunity to undertake culling on private property. Written permission is required for the hunter to cross onto private land. This year’s contract allows private hunting under the GWRC contract on a cost recovery basis. Cost will be $70 per hour of hunting time with a minimum of 3 hours. There is no guarantee of shooting an animal. Contact Zane Gillgren at 021771730\, or zane.gillgren@gw.govt.nz – to discuss culling on private land.\n\nProfessional hunters with knowledge of the area and the skills required to operate in the sensitive environment are being employed by GWRC to hunt deer prone areas of the Northern Forest block for wild deer and signs of their presence.\nMembers of the public using the area will be advised to stay on the main sign-posted walking tracks and to keep dogs on leads. Warning signs erected at all park entrances will be used to notify the users of the area.\nThe culling is necessary to minimise the impact of deer on the ecological values of the forest\, which has been identified as an area of high biodiversity value by GWRC’s Biodiversity department. Heavy browsing of favoured plant species by deer can eliminate individual native species from an area resulting in the loss of diversity and functionality of the forest ecosystem. Reducing wild deer numbers will assist GWRC in their efforts towards restoring the native ecosystem functions of the Northern Forest.
